Autopolyploidization and allopolyploidization events multiply the number of chromosomes and genomic content. Genome rearrangement phylogenetics requires that all genomes analyzed have the same set of orthologs, so that it is not possible to include diploid and polyploid genomes in the same phylogeny.
